Laravel 5 Collections: Reversing the Order of Collection Elements With reverse

The reverse method is used to reverse the order of items in a collection. The reverse method returns a new Collection instance. The reverse method does not preserve numerical keys but will preserve non-numerical keys.

The reverse method is similar in behavior to PHP's array_reverse function.

#Signature

1public function reverse();

#Example Use

The following code example highlights the usage of the reverse method:

1use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
2
3// Create a new collection instance.
4$collection = new Collection([
5    'first', 'second', 'third'
6]);
7
8$reversed = $collection->reverse();

The $reversed variable would now hold an instance of Collection and would contain a value similar to the following output:

1object(Illuminate\Support\Collection)
2  protected 'items' => 
3    array
4      0 => string 'third' 
5      1 => string 'second'
6      2 => string 'first'
